FALL EQUINOX CAMPOUT

An extended weekend of connection, expression, reflection, and movement at Skyview overlooking the Monterey Bay. We will enter the Fall season together and honor/celebrate the balance of day and night in the Northern Hemisphere. Themes of gratifude and harvest will imbue the experience. This will be a joyous, abundant container blending a variety of offerings from our DJs and facilitators (see schedule below).

Picture yourself dancing amidst the trees, frolicking in the pond, making art, taking a long solo or group hike, sharing the campfire with music and song, soaking leisurely in the hot tub after a transformative workshop, or sharing a satisfying conversation over a delicious meal.

This campout includes simple, organic, vegetarian meals (vegan/gf options) which are provided with love and care to nourish your body. As for sleeping, there are both spaces to pitch a tent or car/van camp. And yes there's a hot tub, two outdoor hot showers, and composting toilets.

NOTE: All of our scholarships have already been awarded to those who identify as BILPOC and would not otherwise attend the retreat without it. This is part of our commitment to increase racial/ethnic diversity and inclusivity. There are no more scholarships available at this time.

Much of the retreat will happen outdoors, but there will be indoor (large tent) dancing and classes...especially if it's raining.
